The management of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations.
Pierre Lasjaunias,S M Chng,Marina Sachet,Hortensia Alvarez,Georges Rodesch,Ricardo Garcia-Monaco +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that most treated children with VGAM survive and undergo normal neurological development; an understanding of the clinical, anatomical, and pathophysiological features of VGAM has reversed the former poor prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracranial aneurysms in children aged under 15 years: review of 59 consecutive children with 75 aneurysms.
TL;DR: The multiple etiologies encountered confirm the heterogenous nature of “aneurysms” and suggests the need to categorise aneurysms into subgroups in sufficient numbers to fully appreciate the behavior of the lesions and make the appropriate therapeutic decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of spinal cord arteriovenous shunts: proposal for a reappraisal--the Bicêtre experience with 155 consecutive patients treated between 1981 and 1999.
TL;DR: It seems legitimate to propose a categorization that takes into consideration a primary malformation (nidus or fistula) that evolves with time and in which angioarchitectural changes occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations in children. Management of 179 consecutive cases and review of the literature
Pierre Lasjaunias,Francis Hui,Michel Zerah,Ricardo Garcia-Monaco,Veronique Malherbe,Georges Rodesch,Akio Tanaka,Hortensia Alvarez +7 more
TL;DR: Management of children with these lesions requires a large multidisciplinary team, which is the only way of offering the most suitable and effective treatment, the sole guarantee of a good result.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ahmed Abdel Khalek Abdel Razek,Hortensia Alvarez,Stephen Bagg,Sherif Refaat,Mauricio Castillo +4 more
